FOR FRIENDS OF
AUGUSTANA COLLEGE
SIOUX FALLS
SOUTH DAKOTA
PREPARATION
OF
A
TEACHER
.•.
OBJECTIVES OF TEACHER EDUCATION
Unusual opportunities are offered at Augustana
College for the man or woman who plans to teach in
the elementary school, the junior high school, the sec-ondary
school, or in the special field of deaf education.
All of the college's resources are available to the stu-dents
registered for teacher education. In addition, the
Sioux Falls Public Schools, the Crippled Children's
Hospital and School, and the South Dakota School for
the Deaf provide excellent opportunities for observa-tion
and student teaching.
The prospective teacher must learn to know the
significant role of the profession. Toward this end,
Augustana seeks to develop a respect for all sound
learning, and a desire to instill that respect in others;
a critical and appreciative awareness of the concepts
and values that have contributed to the development
of the American civilization, and a desire to embody
them in his teaching; an appreciation of the significant
contributions that great teachers in the past have made
to man's growing understanding and control of his
world; a sensitivity to the paramount value of individ-ual
persons consistent with the Christian faith—a sen-sitivity,
therefore, that leads the student to view all
education as having basically to do with the transfor-mation
and enrichment of persons, and of their rela-tions
with each other; and a commitment to ethical
principles derived from and sustained by the resources
of the Christian faith to guide him in his personal and
professional judgments and actions.
To insure the professional effectiveness of the pros-pective
teacher, Augustana seeks to encourage and de-velop
sound intellectual achievement and instructional
skill in the areas in which he expects to teach; an un-derstanding
of the growth and development of chil-dren,
youth, and adults, and the ability to work in har-mony
with them; an understanding of the learning
process and working knowledge of its most effective
use in guiding children, youth, and adults; the initia-tive
and ability to plan, execute, and evaluate a pro-gram
of study; the ability in classroom procedure to
weigh issues carefully, to entertain alternative points-of-
view, and to develop judgments consistent with ob-jective
evidence; the sensitivity and training to under-stand
and evaluate the community in which he works,
and to incorporate this social appreciation into the pro-gram
of the school; and an appreciation of American
public education in its historical developments, and in
its present functioning.
